Programs

Clinical Laboratory Science, B.S.
major

The Clinical Laboratory Science student must consult with the Clinical Laboratory Science advisor at the start of the academic program and regularly throughout the course of study. The student must complete the Bemidji State University Liberal Education requirements before the year of clinical study.

To prepare the student for the clinical year of training, two options are available: 1) a 3+1 option, where a student earns a Clinical Laboratory Science, B.S., degree, with the fourth year spent at an affiliated clinical program, and 2) a 4+1 option, where a student earns a Biology, B.S., degree, including specific courses in biology and chemistry, and completes the fifth year at an affiliated clinical program. Both options are described below.

The following is a list of Clinical Laboratory Science courses arranged by year. This suggested schedule is intended to help students plan their courses without course conflicts. Courses that are asterisked(*) are recommended but not required. Courses that are double asterisked(**) are required but offered only in alternate years.

Note: With proper student planning and in consultation with the Clinical Laboratory Science coordinator, a student may complete his or her academic degree in 128 semester credits. It is possible, in some circumstances, that courses in a student's Liberal Education program may be used in his or her academic major. In addition, Clinical Laboratory Science students should register for ECON 2000 Markets and Resource Allocation in Liberal Education Goal Area 5.
